Misleading headline
Without even reading that link I will say I think that commercial tests are cynically marketed towards Americans so they are like Astrology but there are some non-commercial or some not very super commercial tools that can be legit but are not user-friendly or have a steep learning curve or whatnot .
Physical anthropology is much more useful.
I was expecting a good article given that there are indeed many problems with ancestry tests, but his whole point is that "our genes aren’t our identity, no matter what the DNA testing companies say in their advertising campaigns." Needless to say this is no critique to ancestry tests, since it assumes that their results does indeed represent "our genes", which is false.
